I don't like the idea of judging people because they don't live up their potential.
Each of us is *incredibly* powerful, and could affect (effect?) whopping and wide-spread change. You don't need to be a see-oooper-deee-oop-er-multi-mega-star, more popular than Mickey Mouse, to do it. I don't know that being so even gives one that much of a leg up. That people could put such stock in "star power" is part of the problem, I fear. Perhaps things like twitter will help. *shrug* I hope so, it looks like it kinda sucks to be a star these days... I much prefer X-treem bloopers over TMZ (tho it seems like they're the same folks). Eh. I had some damn fine joke in my head somehow linking in the recent popularity of starlet crotch-shots, but it's drifted off. Alas. I'm pretty sure it was pretty funny (if timed right, of course). A real tragedy, that. There was so much potential... Seems like the saddest part of the whole deal, is that his kids will never get to see him perform live. -- I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
